Abstract
Immigration is now the main source of Canada’s population growth. According to the 2011 Census, almost 20.6% of the population was born outside Canada (Statistics Canada, 2013). One way in which these newcomers differ from earlier immigrants is that many have brought non-Western faith traditions from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
